About Me
My name is Ting Zhang, a.k.a., happygirlzt. I will be joining Monash University, Australia, as a Lecturer (equivalent to an Assistant Professor in the U.S. system) in Software Engineering starting June 2025. I look for self-motivated Ph.D. students to work with me. If you're interested in collaborating or working with me, feel free to reach out.
Currently, I am a research scientist at SMU.
Prior to this, I defended my doctoral dissertation titled "Supporting Software Engineers with Large Language Model-Based Automation" on 13 Dec 2023. I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. David
Lo and Prof. Lingxiao
Jiang.
